Five Tool Baseball Performance Training (FTBPT) is dedicated to sharing its knowledge, ideas and opinions on baseball performance training based upon field tested experiences as player, coach and baseball strength & conditioning coach. Proper exercise technique ( to ensure effective & efficient training programs) and baseball related movement patterns are implemented to maximize on-field performance. Emphasis is placed on movement based training which integrates multiple muscle groups. This approach has a greater transfer to on-field performance and can minimize the incidence and risk of injury. 
 If a game is being played you can be sure Im watching it from home or from the stands. Many of my own workouts involve designing/creating out-of-the-box exercises & programs to enhance performance and movement unique to baseball

The Five Tools

Baseball performance is measured by FIVE TOOLS. These tools are the gold standard for evaluating a player and are based on a scale from 2 to 8; with 5 being average. Not in any particular order the five tools are identified as:

1) Hitting for Average
2) Hitting for Power
3) Speed; offensively and defensively
4) Arm strength
5) Defensive/Fielding skills

Stay tuned for the arrival of my baseball performance website, www.fivetoolbaseball.com .

Go hard in the yard.
